Dates to 1914. The H is just an inspectors stamp. Date codes didn't start till 1949. If it has a mark on the boss before 49 it's an inspectors mark. The date codes are in an oval with 1 or 2 numbers and a letter. They must be in the oval.I think the only T/D's in 1914 were the 1899 A with 26" barrel, the 1899 H with a 20" barrel and the 1899 250-3000 Savage Rifle. Since yours is not a 250, that rules out that model. How long is the barrel? 26" is an A, 20" is an H. Some one here might have a forearm, good luck, Joe..


I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Remember Ira Hayes
